• T8ke's Tasting Notes: Bright, spritely, expressive: beautiful peppers and spice pop on the nose: poblano, sweet bells and the tiniest pop of serrano join creamy, fresh, raspberry and orange sorbet, key lime, bright honeysuckle and vanilla bean on the nose. Wildly unique, bright, fresh, enticing. Rich on the palate, peppers pop first while some white pepper joins in the mix. There's a creamy, vanilla, dessert character on the palate that pairs nicely with the chiles and bells, the hint of citrus and touch of spice. Almost like a dallop of chile ice cream where it's rich and fatty, sweet, layered, with just a hint of contrasting flavor throughout - here it's the pop of citrus fruit and bell pepper, not the spice itself. Long finish, sweet and fresh, crisp and a pop of salinity and minerality cleanses the palate and leaves lovely citrus. This is a wild batch, perfect to close out the year with. 

Ultima Reserva is the pinnacle of luxury, aged 36 months and crafted from the final agave plantation planted by Don Julio and his family in 2006. Carefully distilled and aged using a Solera system—blending tequilas finished in exceptional casks—it is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks to mark life’s most meaningful moments.

One whiff confirms the luscious benefits of long aging in American oak. Soft aromas of roasted agave, clean vanilla, rich caramel, and smoked nuts merge in a pleasing harmony.

The experience begins with a decadently rich mouthfeel that’s velvety smooth. Long barrel aging mellows the character of the roasted agave, bringing out hints of cooked caramel, dried fruits, and coffee for a finely nuanced complexity.

Rewards agave lovers with the ripe essence of the plant itself, roasted to perfection to bring out its herbaceous depths. A deeper sniff reveals fragrant undertones of fresh herbs and citrus fruits.

Utterly clean and clear, with an exquisitely bright mouthfeel.  Savory notes of intense agave balanced with flavors of pineapple on the mid-palate.  

Light straw in color, our Reposado tequila presents a delicate, charming nose. The distinctive herbal aroma of roasted agave is delicately balanced with subtle notes of ripe coconut, vanilla and sweet American oak.

Lusciously supple and warming, this agave tequila is rich with succulent flavors, thanks to barrel aging in American oak. Sweet flavors of light caramel and dried fruits lead to subtle notes of vanilla and roasted nuts.
